Earlier today, we covered claims from Cope that Liverpool are the ‘most committed’ team when it comes to signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, and the Valencia star is attracted by joining the Reds as long as he’s their first-choice goalkeeper.
It was also stated the Reds could send the 23-year-old out on loan until Alisson Becker leaves, if they decide to sign him this summer.
Tuesday’s edition of Superdeporte relays that and then provides their own take on Liverpool’s interest in the stopper.
Arne Slot’s side would have to battle it out with Atletico Madrid for the Los Ches player.
Alisson and Jan Oblak have been the first-choice stoppers in recent years at Liverpool and the La Liga side respectively. The two clubs are looking for their long-term replacements, and have identified the Georgia international as their preferred target.
Mamardashvili kept 13 clean sheets and conceded 41 goals from 37 league games last season. The newspaper says he’s ‘one of the best in the world’, and adds that Liverpool want to buy him immediately and send him on loan to another club.
The Spanish club value him at €40m and the report says the figure could be lowered to €35m.
Slot’s side have been told the fee needed to sign Mamardashvili and it’s down to them to act.
